Nice travels to Clermont to open the 10th day of Ligue 1, this Friday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Riviera club.

It was in a rather strange atmosphere that OGC Nice prepared for its trip to Clermont. Sportingly, the Riviera club is going through a prosperous period with a second place in Ligue 1 and a great series of invincibility since the start of the season. But the Gym must also manage the Atal affair, after the suspension announced for its defender following his action on social networks in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Youssef Atal will therefore be absent for this trip to Auverge, and the full-back will not be the only high-sounding name to be missing. Nice will also have to do without Sofiane Diop or Jordan Lotomba for this match opening the 10th day of Ligue 1 (kick-off at 9 p.m.). Francesco Farioli, however, has the necessary resources in his squad to cobble together a competitive eleven.

The Gym should thus present itself with an animation still articulated in 4-3-3. Players who have scored points in recent weeks are expected, like Moffi, Boga and Sanso. Executives Laborde, Todibo and Dante will also be lined up at kick-off, while the inevitable Bulka will take his place in the Nice goals. Kephren Thuram is uncertain on his side.

The expected composition for Nice: Bulka – Rosario, Todibo, Dante, Bard – Sanson, Thuram, Boudaoui – Laborde, Moffi, Boga.
